In the 1960 movie "The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor, he was given a scale model of the real time machine, in a beautiful tantalus box. I was recently commissioned to make a scale model of the scale model! It was quite the mental workout. But it was alot of fun and I got to work with lots of different materials.

Here is the little time machine, made of pear and walnut wood and brass. The tiny seat has turned legs, and I got to turn brass for the gizmo that hooks to the screen behind the seat.

Adorable hand carved wood tiny polar bear. Measures just ¾" high. One of a kind, no two will ever be alike. A great gift for the bear collector, the miniature collector or even a 1:12 scale toy for the dollhouse! Linda's woodcarvings have been featured in several magazines.

Original Post: Hello all new followers. So nice to see you here. It seems like yesterday I was so thrilled about having a hundred followers and look... almost two hundred today. Unbelievable. I guess I should think of a new giveaway to celebrate it. Thank you so much for your comments. You're too kind :)))

I've been making beef roasts again. Would you believe I used to be a vegetarian? And from time to time I try to give up meat for some time. Still, it doesn't stop me from cooking meat for my family and from indulging in reading meat recipes to try out in future ;).....
